Tasting notes... Pale gold appearance with a pale straw hue. Dense, perfumed aromas of baked apple, pastry and cinnamon - liquid apple pie! The entry is off dry, mouth filling and sweetens at mid palate with flavours of apple pie and nashi pear balanced by drying acidity and a warming spirit. Good length. Delicate and dry, spicy apple / pear aftertaste. 40% Alc./Vol.
